Call for participation to the 8th International Workshop on Multimodal
Interfaces; July 2nd - July 27th, 2012; Supélec (Metz, France)
After the previous workshops which had an impressive success record and
had proven the viability and usefulness of this original workshop, the
8th edition will take place in Supélec (Metz, France). eNTERFACE
workshops aim at establishing a tradition of collaborative, localized
research and development work by gathering, in a single place, a team of
senior project leaders in multimodal interfaces, researchers, and
(undergraduate) students, to work on a pre-specified list of challenges,
for 4 weeks. Participants are organized in teams, attached to specific
projects, working on free software. Each week will typically consist of
working sessions by the teams on their respective projects plus a
tutorial given by an invited senior researcher and a presentation of the
results achieved by each project group. The last week will be devoted to
writing an article on the results obtained by the teams plus a big
session where all the groups will present their achievements.
This year, participants will be provided with an especially great
technical infrastructure, the SmartRoom. In addition to basic network
infrastructure and internet access, robots (Nao, Parrot drone, Koala,
Rovio and Bioloid), multimedia devices (2d and 3d cameras, Kinect, array
of microphones and even an holophonic room) and sensors (brain computer
interfaces, eyetrackers and some biomedical sensors) will be available
for the projects. For more details, see the website.
Senior researchers, PhD, MS, or undergraduate students are now invited
to submit an application for participation at eNTERFACE'12. All those
interested in participating at the workshop should send their
application by emailing the organizing committee at
